· Proven experience as a Sous Chef or Senior Chef de Partie within a Michelin-starred or comparably considered kitchen.

· A sophisticated and well-rounded understanding of classical and contemporary culinary technique.

· Familiarity with, or a keen appreciation for, the flavour profiles and ingredients characteristic of South Asian cuisine.

· Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to perform consistently under pressure in a demanding service environment.

· Natural leadership qualities combined with humility, emotional intelligence, and genuine care for your team.

· A meticulous eye for detail and an uncompromising commitment to quality at every stage of production.

· Strong communication skills and the professional maturity to work closely with senior management.

· Full right to work in the United Kingdom.

WHAT WE OFFER
